'Heart Of Gold'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

This is playing at the DC art house very soon. Woot?
The Bourne movies I must see at home. The usual motion sickness goes into overdrive with that quick cut method. Can't watch Romeo+Juliet for the same reason.
eta: me too Todd!
I'm the same way on the Bourne films. I can't remember a goddamn thing about them. But I'm sure they were cool at the time.
Bourne fights kinda kravlike. I dig that.
Thwapping that guy with the rolled up magazine kills me.
Paper train that bad guy Bourne! Rub his nose in it!!
I liked the first two Bourne films quite a bit. I was surprised by how much I bought Matt Damon as a killer spy, but he's very believable as a guy who can disappear into a crowd only to emerge to wreck havoc and then disappear again.
That final car chase in Supremacy went on a few minutes too long, IMO, but the shaky camera work didn't bother me too much.
Top 20?
Indeed.
They go to 11.
Someday I will get to see Waitress.
I also want to see Once and POTC3.
That's right: I haven't seen a movie in MONTHS.
Also, yay on new thread and esp. new thread name!!!!
Matt Damon kick some ass.
As I said at the time, Dude beat me up with a back issue of Cosmo!! I'll never live this down!
That final car chase in #2 was indeed very jittery, and although it didn't make me nauseated, it made it almost impossible for me to assemble visual images into a coherent narrative. Like, it was all pure raw experience and absolutely no idea what was going on. Which is probably a bad thing.
Dude beat me up with a back issue of Cosmo!!
"Are you Jason Bourne's bitch? Huh? Are you? Take this Cosmo quiz!"
